Q

Problem w/ BMI =

A

Assumes r/ship b/w BMI and % body fat remains independent of age, gender, ethnicity & race
Doesn’t consider the body’s proportional composition or fat distribution
Factors other than excess body fat affect the numerator of the BMI equation
The possibility of misclassifying someone as overweight pertains particularly to athletes

Q

Human body comp component model:

A

Two: fat mass, fat-free mass
Three: water, protein, fat
Four: water, protein, bone mineral, fat

24
Q

Methods to assess body comp – direct measurement

A

person dead

  • dissolve body in chemical solution to determine fat and fat-free components
  • physically dissect fat, fat-free adipose tissue, muscle, bone
25
Methods to assess body comp – indirect estimation
- hydrostatic weight using Archimedes’ principle - skinfole thickness & girth measurements - x-ray and MRI - totally body electrical conductivity or bioimpedance - near-infrared interactance - ultrasound
26
Molecular techniques body comp
From body fluids -> isotopic dilution Dual frequency energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA/DXA scam) High cost, noninvasive, quick, gold standard
27
Body comp - tissue and organ level
-contains 11 systems -this level groups 4 tissue systems to represent the total body mass adipose tissue + skeletal muscle + bone + blood MRI ultrasound
28
Body comp – whole body level
Anthrompometric measures – skinfolds, girths, bone diameters, segment lengths, body mass, stature Segmental and totally body volume Densitometry -> body density
29
2 component model - The density of fat is…
0.901g/cc (cubic cm) *
30
2 component model - The density of FFM…
is 1.10g/cc*
31
2 component model – the densities of fat and FFM componets….
(water, protein, mineral) are the same for all individuals
32
2 component model – the densities of tissues comprising the FFM are…
constant within an individual, and their proportional contribution to the LBM component remains constant
33
2 component model – the individual being measured differs from thereference body only….
In the amount of fat. The FFM of the reference body is assumed to be 73.8% water *, 19.4% protein *, and 6.8% mineral*
34
Siri equation:
Percentage body fat = (495 / body density) – 450
35
Siri equation assumes:
-two component model of body comp
36
limitations of density assumptions:
-values represent avgs, although they vary for populations, racial differences
37
Hydrostatic weighing:
when a body immersed in water, it’s buoyed by a counter force equal to the weight of the water displaced -loss of weight in water, corrected for water density allows for calculation of body volume take into account air in lungs
38
Bod pod:
Subject immersed in a closed air-filled chamber | r/ship of pressure vs volume, at a fixed temp, is used to solve for the volume of the subject chamber
39
Bioelectrical impedance analysis:
-measures resistance to electric current to predict body water content, lean body mass, and body fat -current flows more rapidly through hydrated fat-free body tissue and water than through fat and bone lower electrical resistance due to greater electrolyte content * high practicality (fast, noninvasive measure) affected by hydration*
40
Skinfold measurement:
Sum of skin fold is a good measure of subcutaneous adipose tissue Can be used to estimate totally body fatness Sum is inversely related to total body mass density and directly related to %BF
41
Skinfold measurement error…
Standardized procedures will increase the accuracy and precision of measurements
42
Skinfold measurement sites *
Triceps, subscapular, iliac, abdominal, thigh, chest, biceps
43
Triceps SKF
Vertical fold at posterior midline of right upper arm, halfway b/w tip of shoulder and tip of elbow
44
Subscapular SKF
Oblique fold, below right scapula’s lower tip
45
Iliac SKF
Slightly oblique fold, just above the right hipbone (crest of ileum); the fole follows the natural diagonal line
46
Abdominal SKF
Vertical fold 1 inch to the right of umbilicus
47
Thigh SKF
Vertical fold at the midline of right thigh, 2/3 the distance from the middle of the patella to the hip
48
Chest SKF
Diagonal fold on the anterior acillary line
49
Biceps SKF
Vertical fold at right upper arm’s midline
50
Girth measurement sites:
Right upper arm (biceps), right forearm< abdomen, buttocks, right thigh, right calf
51
Biceps girth site
Arm straight and extended in front of the body; measurement taken at midpoint b/w shoulder and elbow
52
Right forearm girth site
Max girth with arm extended in front of body
53
Abdomen girth site
1 inch above umbilicus
54
buttock girth site
max protrusion with heels together
55
right thigh girth site
upper thigh, just below buttocks
56
right calf girth site
widest girth midway b/w ankle and knee
